Curvilinear Paramedian Sternotomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
A modification of the classic straight midline sternotomy incision is described. The technique involves performing the sternotomy in a curvilinear manner along both sides of the midline to create two sternal halves that interdigitate with one another. With such a configuration, malalignment is virtually impossible.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1990

The wound cavities were filled with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous island flap and in each case, the wounds healed primarily.
